Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to stop the camera lenses frosting up on cold night's? Makes viewing footage very Hard.

Also I have an old stone cottage and have Wi-Fi range issues. Anyone got a cheap alternative to fix instead of a $300 power line adaptor?

Cheers

Frost on the lens can be a tough nut to crack. It can be the angle at which you have the camera pointing - try rotating it down some. I don't know if anything like Rain-X helps for something like this but might be useful. A more protected position for the camera may be needed.

 

Moving the base closer/more centrally to the cameras is the usual solution. You could also add a second base for cameras that have weak signals. Dunno where you're seeing $300 for a powerline extender - a quick search got me a TP-Link one for $50. Use of any extender that has an Ethernet port to allow repositioning of the base would help you move the base.
